Anyone else picking this up today? Mintage of 110,000 for the silver eagle, may be a winner.

RCM is sold, out, I placed my order already.

 

While the ASE looks nice, I decided to forgo this one since $139.95 is pretty steep. Knowing how my luck works, this means that the set will probably sell out in an hour and triple in value overnight.

 

10,000 sets for The RCM. Did you try the US Mint?

 

I've seen several prebuy offers already, which is why I decided to buy. I bought 5 sets of 5 (different accounts)

 

Yes, I was going to order one of each, I have one orderd from the us mint, was waiting for noon eastern, so I got the order in before they sold out. I mean incase they were going to sell out, ordered rite when they opened the form.

 

I hope so, I ordered 2 just incase. one for me and one to sell. and 3-6 day shipping. Or Ill just keep them both and sell one next year.

 

Ordered 2 today. Price a little high but I really like that maple leaf.

 

Looks like no sell-out. At least not yet. Not sure if the price is too high or if the mintage is too high. Maybe both. Doesn't look like these will be a grand slam like the palladium bullion coins were, which sold-out in only minutes.

ModernCoinMart is emailing me to get me to pre-order these coins.

NGC PF70 for $495
NGC PF69 for $329

What are you idiots paying is the mint charging for them?

 

Would be nice if tomorrow morning, the mint announced they had only sold 8,000 sets in the first 24 hours and that the remaining 92,000 coins have already been melted down. You know, a sort of knee-jerk reaction to punish those buyers who sat on the sidelines instead of loading-up. They would only have to do that a couple of times and their overall sales would likely jump 25% as the casino mentality took hold in the minds of speculators.

 

The Mint website now says Back Order which usually means that they’re sold out.

 

You can still order them, they just won't ship until early August.

 

Which will be sets someone else returned?

 

Are you asking me or telling me?

 

I really debated whether or not to spend that much but in the end went ahead and bought the US Mint version.

 

I believe that Waldo is right. When I bought a Baseball HOF comment from a later “second batch” I ended up with someone else’s returned coin. It has a spot on it, but if I wanted the coin directly from the Mint, that was what I had to accept.

 

If what you want is the coins, it made little sense to buy the RCM offering.

If you want the packaging, I think you'll be able to pick that up cheap on eBay with no coins given a little time.

 

And the TPG's are putting on the label which set they came from So the ASE label collectors will need both, the common US set label and the much scarcer Canadian set label.

 

I didn't say he was right or wrong. I was asking if he was asking or telling.

Does the Mint sell returns? Some say they do, some say they don't. The Mint says they don't.

I have bought coins during the first week or two of release and they had problems, both scratches and spots. They weren't returns because there wasn't enough time.

I think they look at returns and pull the really bad ones. The ones flippers return because they aren't 70s are probably resold, they're probably 69s or 68s. Now the Mint can ban you for too many returns but they haven't said anything to me yet and I've returned a few without a word being said. They were terrible and I couldn't imagine the Mint reselling those.
